Chris BADNEWS Barnes teamed up with Grammy award-winning producer Tom Hambridge for Barnes' first original blues album. Barnes' third VizzTone release, BADNEWS RISING delivers the same stock and trade ironic, salacious Hokum Blues songs that Barnes is known for. Barnes, a former Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, 30 Rock & Carol Burnett television show performer and writer, has made his mark in the blues community, being hailed by Elmore Magazine as The King of Hokum Blues. Barnes' satiric muses are punctuated with honest biographical blues-driven gems like When Koko Came to Town, which tells of his early Hokum days performing alongside blues legends at Tramps in New York, and the moving I Slow Danced With Joni Mitchell. BADNEWS RISING is exactly what we all need to bring us out of the crazy times. The deep driving rhythm combined with Barnes' witty, bawdy lyrics will have you singing along!1. You Wanna Rock?
